However, I spent the last two days of June using an old ftp program and copied all (or almost all) of the files I had there, trying to keep the directory structures in tact. (For one thing, I had a million files named INDEX.HTML and DATA.

My next little side project will be to go through those pages, remove the references to the old domain, and upload them somewhere. Possibly mrburkemath.net, owned by yours truly, Mr. Burke, who teaches math.

Yes, I'm known by many names.

Why a math site? For one thing, I already own the site for my job. Second, I don't want to pay for another site to hold, essentially, ten megabytes of information. And, finally, it is conceivable that someone, some day, could come along and say, "Hey, you can't have tannikermsith.net! That's our intellectual property!"

And, no, I wouldn't argue with someone about that. I may have taken on that identity because it's a cool name, but I wouldn't challenge the creator for not protecting it.

Welcome to Tanniker Smith's Guardians Page

The material in this web log is related to the Guardians trading-card game, formerly published by FPG, Inc. in the mid-90s. It was a fun, wacky game that raised the bar for artwork in card games. It was also a great strategy game that was discontinued way too soon.

Much of the material on this website has been previously published by me in other forms: on Usenet, the Yahoo mailing list group or on an older Guardians website that will be going away soon, if it hasn't already.
